Shed roof. Fascia not follow slope.

[Anonymous]

Hi, community. I've a problem.

As you see, the fascia on right edge is not follow roof's angle, and two side fascias do it, but change own length. How to solve this? Please help.

You could try:

1. Model (2) or (3) separate Roofs, so you can control their shapes / extension at the eave line individually.

2. Use only the thin, top layer as a Roof, then model joists below using a Structural Beam System.

Place a fascia along the edge of the joists, using the roof edge above, with a vertical offset.

cbcarch gave a good solution, probably the best.

Another approach is create a profile that represents your roof edge and use it as either a fascia or a gutter.  Attach it to the roof, change the material to match your roof and join them together.

I've never really found a good solution for this.  I do single slope roofs all the time and the edge at the higher end never seems to work out.  Here I've got the basic roof with a 2nd 'thin' roof above it and offset to make it look like the overhang, and then a 1/2" fascia wrapped around it.  It looks just right on the sides and the bottom edge of the slope (because the edge of the bottom slope is square-cut), but the top edge always makes this dumb turn where the face of the roof edge is vertical (the way it would be built).  I could do a cut-by-face and make that leading face square cut like the bottom edge and then the fascia follow it properly, but that's not how you would build it and it would look equally weird.

Don't use fascia then.  You can model fascia as another roof (with vertical cut opening to cut out the hole), or as walls attaching to roof top and bottom.

Huh, interesting approach!  Thanks for the tip!
